People have always attempted to blend pagan religions with the Creator.
Look at Aaron. He made a golden calf out of gold and tried to connect it with YHVH in Exodus 32. The church prompted by Constantine did the same thing after around 300CE. This has been going on for a long long time. Even today.
Lucky for us, we mostly partake in pagan religious activities unknowingly.
Many atheists and non- christians claim that Christianity and Judaism is based on ancient pagan myths. Christ is based on Greek gods and Egyptian ones among others. The renowned atheist Richard Dawkins says that the Son of God prefers to the sun myth word play: son means Sun. Are the words son and sun the same words in ancient Egypt, Hebrew, Arabic, Latin or Greek or rhyme like they do in English? I know they don't in Spanish? Son= Hijo. Sun=Sol. There is even a theory going on that Roman emperors made the Jesus story up to keep the Jews and the Roman citizens in line. It is called the Flavius emperors or something or other.
Rule of Although you don't bring it up, the concept of of a "trinity" existed some forms of Judaism of Jesus' day. The Judaism of Jesus' day was very diverse. The Jewish philosopher Philo even claimed that the "Angel of the LORD" (mentioned in Judges 6 and other places) is an incarnation of the pre-existent Logos, a manifestation of God (compare John chapter 1)
This is interesting, if the concept of the trinity existed before the birth of Christ, then how did they know that God would reveal Himself in the flesh?
Personally, I do not adhere to the doctrine of the trinity, I think it is a pagan concept applied on top of systematic theology. I do think that Christ was God in the flesh, but I do not think the God exists eternally in the future as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit because we, reborn Christians are adopted into that family.
I read somewhere that the trinity was adopted at the council of Nicea to put the Arian debate to rest by Constantine and he did that in order to bring in the pagan priests in Rome to Christianity. His decision had nothing to do with belief in Christ only trying to politicize Christianity for Rome.
Careful, such talk may cause you problems here. As I understand it, the site doesn't consider anyone Christian if they don't agree with the Creed/Trinity.
Not that I blame you for speaking up...trust me, I get it, and I'm not sure the site will get on to you officially or not. I've had mods get upset and warnings from others, but nothing official. The site rules also state we are not to say anyone who claims to be a Christian, is not a Christian, so with that in mind you may be safe, but I've had minor trouble in the past for going on about it, so figured I'd let you know.
